This guy, Bob, hasn't worked for a year Every day, every night, he smokes out his beer Makes him see things clear and the hours go fast He says, I wish they'd do it stronger so the high would last They're throwing out Rashid cause they say he couldn't stay He ain't got a job, he's not paying anyway They're buying him a ticket and sending him home But Hogan's here, and it's the only one I know Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Mary down the block who can't pay the bills She got 4 kids, she keeps forgetting her pills I'm really sorry about this Her former landlord claims But this is business as usual, there's no room for playing games Pete fixed the credit card and got himself a new day I was certain that the boss would let me stay Now his book is gone and real heavy on the hook My microwave oven was the last thing they took My friend Jim's down and he only wanna die His girlfriend Lisa left him for another guy I said I'll die just waiting by the phone A blue movie prevents me from feeling alone Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man For me I got myself a washing machine Everyday everything that I wear is really clean My fridge is always full, you know, just in case My VCR's programmable after 30 days I got 400 CDs, what do you wanna hear? My stereo's adaptable to any kind of ear Today is Friday, I'll have a steak and some wine Cause I'm a real happy man Yeah, I feel fine, I'm a happy man I'm a happy man I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right I'm a happy man Cause I'm a happy man That's what I am, that's what I am Cause I'm a happy man I'm a happy man, I'm a happy man
